when Fort Scott WIS besieged. That was
when Fort Scott wns the outward frontier
post. us miles southwest of Kearnev Capt
Evans volunteered 70 go TO tho relief, On
condition that he should be allowed absolute
management of the expedition. Report had

least 5000 Indians The captain rugged out
half dozen six mule government wagons,
with canvas covers arranged with ropes over
head. SO that the curtains could be rolled up

hawks. They were going 70 capture the train.
Capt. Evans let them come until they 60:
within sure killing distance and then his bugle
sounded, and the re1t instant a voliey of lead

A SINGLE HORsEMAN.

For moment everything was still, not q
sound was heard; the Indian meanwhile
striding ma jesticallv before them and await
ing the result of his shot. Then, all at once
from the white mems lines dashed a single
horseman with his rife carried at q ready.
who rode obliquelv along the front of the
line, then turned suddenly toward the cham
pion standing alone and ready to receive him.
Troops and Indians watched with deepest in
terest the outcome Of the fight, for it meant a
duel to the death. Yellow Hand started
his pony ~galloping in n circle, lying
far over on the opposite side. accord
ing TO the aboriginal style of fighting
from horseback, fired shot after shot quickly
and rapidly at his pals faced adversary.
Buffalo Bill sat his steed like a centaur, and
only pulled the trigger when there was some
reason for it, preferring not to waste a shot
unless there was some chance of hitting
Gradually the circle became smaller and the
faster yellow Hand fired his Winchester;
always loading his magazine and manipu-
lating his piece while lying alongside of and
on the farther side Of his fiying animal
When the distance had been lessencd to about
$50 wards, and when Buffalo Bill had been
grazed more than once by his enemy's lead
quick and accurate aim at the circling pair,
and pulled the trigger Down went rider
aud steed rolling over in the dust, both Of
them shot to the death. Rushing forward
the white scout leaped from his horse, and
whipping ont his long, keen hunting knife,
scalped the great warrior in full sight of both
armies.
With the loss of their leader the spirit Of
tho Indians was broken. They could not
fight after that calamity, the scaping Of
their fayorito chief utterly and tetotally
breSking their savage hearts. They gave up
the scheme of joining the other hostiles in
Montana and hurried back to their own
agency, scattering provisions and plumber by
tho way. That night the troops camped on
Indian creek, and in honor of Buffalo Bnl's
great achievement and handsome trophy
taken from Yellow Hands head, the name
was changed from Indian creek 10 War Bon

His Death at the Hands of q White
scout-The Heart of tho Savage Was
Broken.
Perhaps the greatest experience Of Buffalo
Bills life was the killing of yellow Hand, q
famous Cheyenne chief, and the consequent
naming of War Bonnet creek i'll Wyoming
from that circumstance. When Cen Crock
was serenading the Sioux tribe with bullets
in the summer of 1876 Buffalo Bill was biz
wagonmaster and chief of scouts A courier
had come into Crooks camp with the intelll-
gence that young Sitting Bull had broken
away from Red Cloud agency with 500 fight
ing bucks and was then on the way 70 JOIN
old Sitting Bull up here in Montana terri
tory: while yellow Hand, the big CHIEF Of
the Cheyennes, had also left his agency with
out permission. with 500 warriors, bound
. north on a similar errand. Troops were cut
securing the country in every direction,
Crooks particular business being to reach
Running Water, follow Oh to Rawhide creek,
cross a plateau to Indian creek, and there
meet and crush Yellow Hand, or drive him
back 10 the agency.
Arriving on the plateau mentioned, clouds
of Indians could be seer far ahead in the
ann distance, ana one OF LDe OIllCcIS pre-
dicted that everybody in the civilized COM
mand would be killed. There were five COM
panies of infantry and one troop Of cavalry
the latter making detour and coming
around ahead of the wagon train in line Of
battle, while the mule whackers were ordered
to dismount and fight by their mules. All
this took time. At last the red men drew
quite near, when from their hosts rode out
in front OF the lines, hating midway, a
magnitcently equipped and gaudily decor
nted Indian, his handsome war bonnet filed
with eagles feathers trailing behind, and a
shining Winchester rife resting easily on the
angle of his arm. He proudly sat his steel
and surveyed the pale faces with insolence
and scorn. Then uttering a war whoop o
defiance, the chieftain raised his rifle and
fired one shot at his enemies. The challenger
was Yellow Hand. His riding forth alone,
delivering but a single shot and that in the
face Of his enemies, the uttering of & defiant
war whoop; all this meant nothing more nor
less than a challenge 10 duel Was there
no one AMONG all those white soldiers TO take
up the gauntlet so defantiy thrust at theml
